What happens while it is decided
The process from here
This application is with Exmoor National Park for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.
The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.
About trees applications
How this application type works
Tree applications cover work to protected trees: those under a tree preservation order need consent for pruning or felling, and trees in a conservation area need six weeks written notice before work starts. The council assesses the amenity value of the tree and can refuse consent, approve it with conditions, or in conservation areas make a preservation order in response.

Fernbank Bonnings Lane Barrington Ilminster Somerset TA19 0JN
Notification of intent to Fell No. 1 Tree and carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T3 - Ash, reduce upper canopy on northern aspect by 2-3m, making pruning cuts up to 50mm in diameter, T6 - Holly, fell to ground level. The mature Ash tree has had its lower northern canopy pruned but the upper canopy remains untouched and is now becoming exposed. The relatively light reduction works are necessary to reduce the risk of limb failure over the neighbouring property and will have a limited affect on the tree's physiological processes. The Holly is a scrappy specimen and not worthy of retention.
